Boy, are there a lot of ferocious and terrifying creatures in Resident Evil 5!
Especially the boss enemies are tough and will often require a specific strategy
to destroy. This Guide lays its focus on that aspect of RE5 in particular: All
bosses are completely analyzed and their attacks are gone laid out so you know
what's coming for you. A complete strategy has been devised for each boss,
allowing for a thorough and complete image of how bosses behave and react to
your actions. Add in the mix an orderly layout, pro-tips and a snuff of humor;
Well, the result lies right in front of you!
I wish you luck and tons of pleasure fighting off these monstrosities.

|| ____/ | SEMI-BOSS FIGHT: EXECUTIONER MAJINI |
|| |__ |_____________________________________________________________________|
||___ \ |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|
| ___) | | Executioner Majini has 4 attacks: |
||____/ | ================================= |
|--------| 1. Overhead swing: Commonly used. When hit this results in the dying|
| | status so extremely careful. He holds the axe behind him if he |
| | plans on doing this. |
| | 2. Horizontal swing: He can swing the axe horizontally, giving him |
| | quite an attack range. |
| | 3. Horizontal Rage swings: When he gets low on health he will swing |
| | the axe repeatedly. Back away if he does this. |
| | 4. Grab-Choke: He can grab one of your characters and choke them. |
| | Help your partner or ask for help whenever this happens. You can|
| | also attempt to break free, but it'll cost more time and is |
| | harder to do. |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|LOCATION| Executioner Majini cannot follow you to these 3 locations: |
|PATTERN:| ========================================================== |
| | 1. Climb to the 2nd floor or roof of the first building. |
| | 2. Move inside the bus and stay in the middle. The executioner can |
| | still perform horizontal swings in rare cases, and if you're |
| | standing near him he will still hit you through the bus walls. |
| | 3. On top of the bus, and on the platform to the left of the bus. |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|STRATEGY| Strategy: |
| | ========= |
| | He's got a fair amount of health so you'll want to use everything |
| | on him that you've possibly got at this point. Grenades works best,|
| | followed by explosive barrels, and lastly Shotgun blasts to his head|
| | after which you can perform a melee attack. Alternatively you can |
| | empty the Machine Gun in his head and once again use melee attacks. |
| | Resort to the handgun only when you're out of options. |
| | |

|| ____/ | BOSS FIGHT 1: UROBOROS |
|| |__ |_____________________________________________________________________|
||___ \ |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|
| ___) | | Uroboros has 3 attacks: |
||____/ | ======================= |
|--------| 1. Ram Attack: When you get too close to Uroboros, the creature |
| | ----------- will ram you. There are two types of ram attacks: |
| | The first one is when you're standing next to the creature and it|
| | just touches you. This isn't very harmful. The other is a |
| | frontal ram when it rushes over to you. This causes much more |
| | damage. |
| | |
| | 2. Swallow: This is an instant death attack. The creature swallows |
| | -------- the unfortunate player who is engulfed in a swarm of |
| | tentacles. This only happens up close, and the boss will perform|
| | some sort of a 'grab' animation when attempting this. |
| | |
| | 3. Arm Punch: This is a quick and dangerous attack in which the boss|
| | ---------- extends his arm to knock over your character. It's a |
| | long range attack, making it an attack to be cautious of. |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|STRATEGY| Strategy: |
| | ========= |
| | Several people mentioned that Uroboros can in fact be defeated in |
| | the hallway, but it's certainly not easy.. without a Rocket Launcher|
| | or fully upgraded magnum, that is. Assuming you don't have these |
| | things, read on and try the regular strategy. |
| | |
| | There are two main strategies for defeating this boss. The first |
| | strategy is the most useful for getting rid of this monster, so I |
| | suggest you attempt this first. The room contains two gas cylinders|
| | that you can throw over. When Uroboros moves over them, it'll |
| | swallow them. If you blast the canister, Uroboros will temporarily |
| | go into recovery mode: During this time it is nothing more but a |
| | small blob of black goo and tentacles. |
| | |
| | You'll want to knock over one of the gas cylinders, lure Uroboros |
| | over it, then command Sheva (or your partner) to stand at the lever |
| | of the incineration chamber. Lure Uroboros into the incineration |
| | chamber, preferably around the other side - or it might go after |
| | your partner - and have your partner flip the lever. Shoot the gas |
| | cylinder while the creature is all the way inside the chamber and |
| | back out yourself. It's possible to jump underneath the closing |
| | doors when they are about halfway down. |
| | |
| | You may need to repeat this a second time on Veteran & Professional |
| | by using the second gas cylinder. This depends on how much you've |
| | damaged the boss with guns. It is, however, quite possible that |
| | things don't go as smooth as you'd like them to go. There's a |
| | solution to every problem, and there is one to this one as well. |
| | |
| | If you've used up both gas cylinders, and the boss is still alive, |
| | you have two options. Both revolve around weakening the boss by |
| | using regular gunfire. Uroboros has two arms which you can target |
| | and shoot off the body. They regenerate fairly quickly, but by |
| | targeting the orange bulbs, otherwise known as the weak spots of |
| | any Uroboros creature, it's possible to kick the boss into it's |
| | recovery mode. If you measure carefully when you think the second |
| | arm is going to drop off, and then lure it into the incineration |
| | chamber while your partner controls the lever, you get the same |
| | effect, this time without gas cylinder. |
| | |
| | Lastly, although this isn't the preferred method, it's perfectly |
| | possible to overcome this menace by sheer gun power. It does take a|
| | lot of ammunition, but it's possible. You might want to combine |
| | this method with the incineration chamber nonetheless. If you kill |
| | it with a gun shot you'll be rewarded with a [GOLD RING]. |
| | |

|| ____/ | SEMI BOSS: CHAINSAW MAJINI |
|| |__ |_____________________________________________________________________|
||___ \ |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|
| ___) | | Chainsaw Majini has 3 attacks: |
||____/ | ============================== |
|--------| 1. Chainsaw: This is an instant death attack, as it separates your |
| | ------------ head from your body. |
| | |
| | 2. Chainsaw swing: This attack will not separate your characters |
| | ------------------ head from their body but will instead put the |
| | character in the Dying status. |
| | |
| | 3. Chainsaw Madness: After downing him once AND grabbing the |
| | -------------------- Guard's Key he'll get back up and start going |
| | in a frenzy, swinging his chainsaw around him. Do NOT, I repeat do |
| | NOT get even close to him or he'll instantly send you into dying |
| | status! At this point he doesn't have a lot of health left, so pump|
| | a little more lead in his sorry ass to make him stay down for good. |
| | |
| | Note: Chainsaw Majini will only revive when the game is set in a |
| | Difficulty Level of 7 or higher. This corresponds to the |
| | highest setting of Normal, while on Veteran and Professional, |
| | you're always bothered by revivals. |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|STRATEGY| Strategy: |
| | ========= |
| | Needless to say it's best to not get close to him, and if you do, |
| | try not to get stuck in front of him or you'll be dead meat. He |
| | can take a lot of damage and is backed up with a new wave of 10+ |
| | Majinis. Use the explosive barrels to your advantage and aim for |
| | his head with your rifle whenever you get the chance; However, be |
| | extremely careful with using the rifle as it has a reload time of |
| | nearly a second. He isn't slow and if he manages to get a hit on |
| | you or Sheva it'll be game over, so it's better to be safe than |
| | sorry. Use grenades as well to make things easier. |

|| ____/ | BOSS FIGHT 2: POPOKARIMU |
|| |__ |_____________________________________________________________________|
||___ \ |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|
| ___) | | Popokarimu has 8 attacks: |
||____/ | ========================= |
|--------| 1. Wing Slash: The boss will set foot towards your character and |
| | -------------- swipes with its sharp wing. This is only performed |
| | when the boss is nearby you. |
| | |
| | 2. Tail Leap: The boss prepares to leap towards your character, |
| | ------------- viciously striking you with its tail. Dodgeable. |
| | |
| | 3. Air Swipe: Popokarimu performs tail strikes while aerial. |
| | ------------- This attack is dodgeable. |
| | |
| | 4. Shack Smash: Popokarimu destroys a shack, usually when you're |
| | --------------- hiding inside one of them. This attack is dodgeable.|
| | |
| | 5. Sticky Fluid Spit: Whenever Popokarimu is facing away, and you're|
| | --------------------- thus facing it's tail, it can spit an awfully |
| | sticky substance at your characters, temporarily immobilizing you. |
| | Wiggle the left stick to break free ASAP. |
| | |
| | 6. Charge Ram: Popokarimu rushes towards your character in an |
| | -------------- attempt to ram you. |
| | |
| | 7. Tail Swing: Whenever an agent is standing behind Popokarimu, the |
| | -------------- boss will occasionally swing its tail. |
| | |
| | 8. Roar: More a sign of aggression than anything else, this loud |
| | -------- roar causes a very brief stun. |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|STRATEGY| Strategy: |
| | ========= |
| | This creature requires a special strategy to defeat. You'll soon |
| | find that its armor is too tough to crack with regular gunfire. |
| | It's weak spot is the pink flesh at the bottom of it's tail. With |
| | the natural flow of things, this will be revealed when it's in the |
| | air or when it has just performed a leap attack. |
| | |
| | However, you'll want to get a longer time span for targeting this |
| | weak spot. There are sets of 2, 2, 3 and 3 [WOODEN BARRELS] in the |
| | area, and one of the cabins contains [2x HANDGUN AMMO x10], a [GREEN|
| | HERB] and a [PROXIMITY BOMB]. The other shacks house a [FLASH |
| | GRENADE], [HANDGUN BULLETS], and [PROXIMITY BOMB x2]. Those bombs |
| | can also be found in many of the barrels, and they're the key to an |
| | easy victory. |
| | |
| | Get a fair distance between you and the boss, ideally so that you |
| | are on one side of the rock in the center and he on the other side. |
| | Place a Proximity Bomb in the *middle* of the road and lure the boss|
| | towards it. While the boss is heading towards the bomb, be sure |
| | that your best weapon(s) are fully loaded. The blast will knock the|
| | boss on its side, revealing the weak spot located under its tail. |
| | Walk over to a convenient spot, usually right next to the weak spot |
| | and empty your shotgun/machine gun/favorite weapon. Repeat this |
| | process a few times and the boss will be a goner. |
| | |
| | Whenever the boss goes aerial, try to shoot it down, preferably by |
| | aiming at its tail - so that it goes down, allowing you to repeat |
| | the process above with proximity bombs. |
| | |
| | It's possible to seek refuge in one of the three shacks, but it'll |
| | be a matter of time before Popokarimu destroys them with an - albeit|
| | dodgeable - smash attack. You can found three [RANDOM ITEMS] this |
| | way (which appear from the remains of each destroyed shack). |
| | |

|| ____/ | BOSS FIGHT 3: NDESU |
|| |__ |_____________________________________________________________________|
||___ \ |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|
| ___) | | Ndesu has 8 attacks: |
||____/ | ==================== |
|--------| 1. Foot Crush: Ndesu moves over to the truck and crushes it with his|
| | -------------- large, sweaty, dirty foot. It is not possible to |
| | dodge this attack; instead you'll need to counter by shooting him |
| | in the head/foot as much as possible, causing him to stagger. |
| | |
| | 2. Punch: Like his foot crush, this attack requires him to stand |
| | --------- near the vehicle. He'll try to deliver a direct punch to |
| | the vehicle. This attack can be dodged with a button input. |
| | |
| | 3. Knock Down: Similar to his foot crush, except he bolds his fists,|
| | -------------- raises them above his head and attempts to crush the |
| | vehicle. Simply burst him with gunfire to stagger him. |
| | |
| | 4. Boulder Throw: Ndesu grabs a huge boulder and hurls it at the |
| | ----------------- vehicle. Shoot a nearby explosive barrel or |
| | target the boulder to make it crumble before it reaches the truck. |
| | |
| | 5. Earthquake Punch: Ndesu will smash the ground so hard (while in |
| | ------------------- the distance) that the tremors hit the truck. |
| | |
| | 6. Pole Smack: Ndesu grabs an electricity pole and tries to smash |
| | -------------- your characters in a similar fashion to his punches. |
| | |
| | 7. Pole Crush: Ndesu grabs an electricity pole and lifts it above |
| | -------------- his head with the intention to crush you. This can't|
| | be dodged; Try to stagger him instead. |
| | |
| | 8. Ram: This attack is dangerous and cannot be dodged, but it's |
| | ------- certainly possible to stagger him during his attempt to ram |
| | the vehicle. Sheva will often say: "There's something wrong|
| | with him, watch out!", usually before his Earthquake Punch |
| | or Ram attacks. Take notice of this mention! |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|STRATEGY| Strategy: |
| | ========= |
| | Majini's need love too: |
| | ======================= |
| | Immediately initiate fire and aim for his head. An important piece |
| | of information for winning this fight is that you're not just |
| | fighting Ndesu. You're not? No, there are also two Majini with |
| | bowguns in the background, and these can be just as dangerous. |
| | Well, almost as dangerous. They might not be there during the first|
| | few seconds of the fight, but two Majini's are on the right side, |
| | one on ground level, the other on the platform above the other. |
| | They are close to an explosive barrel, so you can use that to kill |
| | them, but they will keep respawning - so the explosive barrel is |
| | only a one time help. |
| | |
| | If you're playing on Veteran Mode, the other Majini is on your left |
| | side, on a building. In order to maintain a healthy .. health bar, |
| | it is essential to take a second every now and then to kill these |
| | Majini's. Only do so when Ndesu doesn't require your immediate |
| | attention, and he usually does. |
| | |
| | Gatling/Machine Gun & Overheating: |
| | ================================== |
| | As with previous instances where you could use gatling guns, this |
| | one can also overheat. Keep track of the circle in which the |
| | gatling gun is displayed. When you hold the trigger, the circle will|
| | fill up with a red color. When the circle is completely filled, |
| | the gatling gun will be overheated and the circle needs to be empty |
| | again - resulting in a nasty waiting time. Try to avoid this by all|
| | means. |
| | |
| | Phase 1: |
| | ======== |
| | Ndesu will approach the jeep and try to punch you. These punches |
| | can be dodged, which you should - at all costs - try to do as best |
| | as possible. He'll also try to smack you with both his hands, or |
| | deliver a blow with his feet. In the last two cases, fire at his |
| | head until he ceases the attack (but still, don't try to overheat |
| | your gatling gun). |
| | |
| | As you keep up the pace, parasites will crawl out of his body. At |
| | first there will be two parasites at a time - one in his chest, the |
| | other on his arm - but soon enough as much as four parasites pop |
| | out. These are his weak spots, so kill them one at a time. If |
| | you've been doing things correctly - and I'm assuming you have if |
| | you're reading this - then a larger parasite will crawl out of his |
| | back. That's your main chance: You need to destroy that sucker to |
| | win this fight. The smaller parasites will respawn, so repeat the |
| | cycle until the larger parasite shows itself again. |
| | |
| | He'll pull back soon enough and grab huge boulders and throw these |
| | at your vehicle. Aim for any explosive barrels that he's standing |
| | close to and blow them up to deal with this threat. Soon, when |
| | there are no more barrels left you'll need to crack the rocks with |
| | your gatling gun, so fire at the boulders only from the moment he |
| | grabs them. Ndesu will also attempt to attack you by delivering a |
| | tremendous punch to the ground. You can dodge this attack as well. |
| | |
| | Phase 2: |
| | ======== |
| | The only difference here is that Ndesu will pull out the two (well, |
| | one at a time that is) electricity poles and tries to hit you with |
| | them. These can be dodged in a similar fashion how you dodged his |
| | punches. If you shoot the main parasite with three solid bursts |
| | whenever it pops out, then that should do Ndesu in (measured on |
| | Veteran mode). |
| | |

|| ____/ | BOSS FIGHT 4: IRVING |
|| |__ |_____________________________________________________________________|
||___ \ |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|
| ___) | | Irving has 6 attacks: |
||____/ | ==================== |
|--------| 1. Tentacle Strike: Four tentacles emerge from the sea and strike |
| | ------------------- your characters one by one. This attack can be |
| | dodged fairly easily, even when using artillery. |
| | |
| | 2. Tentacle Grab: Squid-like tentacles emerge from the sea and grab |
| | ----------------- one of you, squeezing them badly. The other should|
| | try to free their partner ASAP before the tentacle can do a lot of |
| | damage. It'll release the character after a short while, but it's |
| | still an inconvenience. |
| | |
| | 3. Tentacle Slap: The same squid tentacle tries to hinder the person|
| | ----------------- on the boat by slapping them. Destroy the tentacle|
| | before it becomes too much of a nuisance. |
| | |
| | 4. Bite: The colossal creature gets aggravated, swims to the ship |
| | -------- and tries to crush your characters between its jaw. This |
| | is an instant-death attack, but it can be dodged - fortunately. |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|STRATEGY| Strategy: |
| | ========= |
| | Phase 1: |
| | ======== |
| | The boat is equipped with four guns: The two at the rear are |
| | gatling guns and the two on front are grenade launchers. He'll swim|
| | on either side of the boat, and his tentacles will try to crush you |
| | when you're controlling a one of the guns. |
| | |
| | Shoot the tentacles one by one and dodge the attacks. Irving will |
| | occasionally try to bite you and your partner, but this attack is |
| | also dodgeable. When he's swimming in the distance, target the |
| | orange bulb right around what you could call his head. |
| | |
| | Should you get low on health, search the northeast deck for a can of|
| | [FIRST AID SPRAY]. This can come in handy even for preventive |
| | measures. |
| | |
| | Phase 2: |
| | ======== |
| | Irving will now grab on the rear and expose himself. Shoot him with|
| | full force and dodge both his tentacle and bite attacks. He'll |
| | retreat and show up soon after. Repeat the cycle and he'll go down |
| | in no time. |

| ___) | | Popokarimu has 2 attacks: (Needs additional confirmation...) |
||____/ | ========================= |
|--------| 1. Slash: The boss will set foot towards your character and swipes |
| | --------- with its sharp claw. |
| | |
| | 2. Tail Leap: The boss prepares to leap towards your character, |
| | ------------- viciously striking you with its tail. |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|STRATEGY| Strategy: |
| | ========= |
| | You'll remember this creature, and the same strategy still applies. |
| | It is however possible to try a different tactic, but if you use |
| | this tactic you won't get the Soul Gem (which is a treasure worth |
| | 10000 Gold). |
| | |
| | Method One: |
| | =========== |
| | This method does not net you the Soul Gem, but it's very quick and |
| | easy. Stun the boss for a moment (with a Grenade or Grenade |
| | Launcher), then head upstairs and dodge the boss' attack at the top.|
| | End of the fight. |
| | |
| | Method Two: |
| | =========== |
| | If you have any grenades or proximity bombs, now is the time to use |
| | them, but you can also resort to the grenade launcher with explosive|
| | rounds to flip the boss over to its side. |
| | |
| | As usual, target its weak flesh at the bottom of his tail when on |
| | flipped over and give it everything you got. The fight can be over |
| | surprisingly fast. Grab the [SOUL GEM] after defeating Popokarimu: |
| | This gem is worth 10000 gold! |

|| ____/ | BOSS FIGHT 6: U-8 |
|| |__ |_____________________________________________________________________|
||___ \ |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|
| ___) | | U-8 has 6 attacks: |
||____/ | ================= |
|--------| 1. Claw Swipe: U-8 swipes one of his claws at your characters. This|
| | -------------- attack comes in a dodgeable and un-dodgeable form. |
| | It's best to move away from the boss altogether. |
| | |
| | 2. Ram: The boss moves its body slightly backwards to slam its large|
| | ------- body at the elevator center. You don't want to almost be a |
| | Chris Sandwich, so keep your distance from U-8 when it attempts to |
| | perform this move. |
| | |
| | 3. Bug Swarm Spawn: U-8 climbs the outer, upper elevator walls and |
| | ------------------- releases a group of its bug henchmen. They can |
| | just as well be seen as your own henchmen, since they drop various |
| | useful items when killed, including crucial hand grenades. |
| | |
| | 4. Pincer Grab: U-8 shows off his pincer and then attempts to grab |
| | --------------- a character with it. If it manages to get a hold of|
| | you it'll be game over. Fortunately, this attack is dodgeable. |
| | |
| | 5. Sting: You'll also want to be careful whenever U-8 painstakingly |
| | --------- tries to keep up with you in terms of getting close to you|
| | as it might be preparing to sting you. This is dodgeable. |
| | |
| | 6. Elevator Shake: This attack is prepared by U-8 as it starts |
| | ------------------ hanging underneath the elevator. As soon as you |
| | notice this, move to the other side of the platform immediately. |
| | This attack doesn't cause any damage by itself, but it does stagger |
| | your character, and U-8 is quick to follow it up with a Claw Swipe |
| | of the undodgeable kind. Be warned! |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|STRATEGY| Strategy: |
| | ========= |
| | This B.O.W. can be very tough on harder difficulties, but even on |
| | amateur it can prove a challenge. In short, to defeat the boss |
| | you'll need to crack his shell and aim for his head when it has |
| | cracked. |
| | |
| | To accomplish this, fire at his head/mouth whenever it is open. If |
| | it's not open, don't even bother firing as your bullets will bounce |
| | off its thick armor. After damaging the boss enough, it will |
| | temporarily fall down. You can now toss a Hand Grenade into the |
| | boss' mouth by running up to it and pressing the prompted button. |
| | This action causes the shell to crack. |
| | |
| | An other way to down U-8 and get a chance at tossing a grenade in |
| | its mouth is to target the pink flesh on his legs to each of his |
| | main body. These legs are what uphold him, so if you weaken one of |
| | his legs you can also put it out of business, if only temporarily. |
| | |
| | In between this performance you'll have to dodge various attacks of |
| | the boss, some of which are very vicious. He has a swing attack - |
| | for which the dodge button will not always appear, it has a ram |
| | attack that you can see coming if the boss moves slightly backwards |
| | first. The most deadly attack of all has to be its pincer attack, |
| | and if he manages to grab you it'll be instant death. |
| | |
| | You'll be needing hand grenades in this fight, and there's a fairly |
| | fortunate solution to this problem. U-8 will occasionally spit out |
| | little flying henchmen to bug you quite literally. When killed |
| | they'll drop items, mostly ammunition and hand grenades. You can |
| | also find a few green herbs on the ground. |
| | |
| | Keep at it and don't get unnecessary close to the boss when its |
| | mouth is shut. All the above will eventually down this extremely |
| | tough-armored B.O.W. |
| | |
| | It might be worth your time to also grab the 100% Fixed items from |
| | the area: [HAND GRENADE x2], [GREEN HERB x2] & [SHOTGUN SHELLS x5]. |

|| ____/ | BOSS FIGHT 7: UROBOROS MKONO |
|| |__ |_____________________________________________________________________|
||___ \ |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|
| ___) | | Uroboros Mkono has 5 attacks: |
||____/ | ============================= |
|--------| 1. Arm Swing: Mkono swings its arms to hit you. |
| | ------------- |
| | |
| | 2. Grab/Swallow: Similar to the first Uroboros boss, this swallow |
| | ---------------- attack can inflict heavy damage, often leading to |
| | instant death. Avoid getting too close to the boss. |
| | |
| | 3. Arm Crawl: Mkono's Arm detaches from the body and crawls to your |
| | ------------- characters at a very rapid pace. This can be dodged. |
| | |
| | 4. Tentacle Contact: If you get so close to Mkono that his goo-ish |
| | -------------------- tentacles make contact with your character, |
| | expect to take a little damage. |
| | |
| | 5. Re-Spawn: Uroboros Mkono can dissolve itself, only to reappear |
| | ------------ at a different spot in the room - usually closeby to |
| | where you're at! |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|STRATEGY| Strategy: |
| | ========= |
| | This guy can be one tough son of a bitch to down. His only weakness|
| | is fire, so you'll be using your grenade launcher's Flame Rounds, |
| | any Incendiary Grenades, Gas Cylinders and the Flamethrower in this |
| | area. Whenever Mkono is weakened by fire, a couple of appendixes |
| | with orange bulbs will reveal themselves - these are his weak spots,|
| | and you can only effectively hit them at this time. |
| | |
| | Grenade Launcher's Flame Rounds: |
| | ================================ |
| | You've probably found a couple of flame rounds just before you |
| | entered the boss area. Load them up your Grenade Launcher and fire |
| | them - one at a time - at Mkono. This will temporarily reveal his |
| | weak spots, allowing you to switch to a different gun - preferably a|
| | machine gun - and target them, as should your partner. |
| | |
| | Gas Cylinders: |
| | ============== |
| | The area also contains three Gas Containers that you can use in a |
| | similar manner like you did with the first Uroboros boss. They have|
| | the same effect as a Flame Round from your Grenade Launcher. |
| | |
| | Incendiary Grenades: |
| | ==================== |
| | If you have any of these, throw them at the boss to get a similar |
| | effect as described in the previous two cases, except the |
| | incendiary grenades appear to be somewhat weaker, and thus their |
| | effect (or to initiate effect) seems shorter. Should you not have |
| | any Incendiary Grenades at all, pick them up from around the area |
| | (see 'Collecting Items'). |
| | |
| | Flamethrower Usage: |
| | =================== |
| | When you run out of options, resort to using the flamethrower. The |
| | red lights indicate how full the tank of the flamethrower is when it|
| | is recharging. Green lights indicate that it is ready for usage. |
| | The downside of the flamethrower is that it requires one of you to |
| | get up quite close to the boss - which is very dangerous at all |
| | times. The boss' arm is the main problem here, and as long as that |
| | remains it is going to be difficult not getting hit when near the |
| | boss. Regardless, the brighter side is that you can always refill |
| | the flamethrower, and when the boss is on fire the other can target |
| | the weak spots of the boss with the most powerful weapons - |
| | including the arm of the boss. |
| | |
| | Collecting Items: |
| | ================= |
| | With your back against the flamethrower, there are two [BOXES] on |
| | the right. To the left is a [GREEN HERB] and a [FIRST AID SPRAY] |
| | in the cabinet (slash the glass to grab it). You can find some |
| | [MACHINE GUN AMMO] and an [INCENDIARY GRENADE] up ahead. Search |
| | the cabinets in the northwest region of the area to find a [FIRST |
| | AID SPRAY], [INCENDIARY GRENADE x2], [HANDGUN AMMO x30], [MACHINE |
| | GUN AMMO x50] and [RIFLE AMMO x10]. You can also find [SHOTGUN |
| | SHELLS x20] to the right of the door to the north(lying on a ledge) |
| | |
| | Boss Attacks: |
| | ============= |
| | The boss moves around fairly quickly, and it can disappear and |
| | reappear through-out the area. It's arm swing attack can cause a |
| | lot of damage (especially on the higher difficulties), and his |
| | swallow/grab attack is at least as dangerous. His arm attack can be|
| | dodged; try to do this as effectively as possible. |
| | |
| | Killing the Boss: |
| | ================= |
| | Using the above methods to weaken the boss, preferably use long |
| | range weapons such as the machine gun to target any orange bulbs. |
| | Make haste with destroying the arm, as it'll make things a whole lot|
| | easier when you have to resort to using the flamethrower. |
| | |

| ___) | | Wesker has 6 attacks: |
||____/ | ===================== |
|--------| |
| | 1. Pistol Shot(s): Wesker fires his pistol one to three times. You |
| | ------------------ can dodge this attack. |
| | |
| | 2. High-Low Kick: A Melee attack, used when you are close to Wesker.|
| | ----------------- |
| | |
| | 3. Low Spin-Kick: A Melee attack, used when you are close to Wesker.|
| | ----------------- |
| | |
| | 4. Flying Turn-around-Kick: Wesker uses this to turn around after |
| | --------------------------- performing a Dash attack. |
| | |
| | 5. Kick: A Melee attack, used when you are close to Wesker. He will|
| | -------- follow up by arrogantly waving his finger. |
| | |
| | 6. Dash: Wesker will use this to close the range between him and his|
| | -------- target with warp-like speed, and follows up with a kick. |
| | You can counterattack his Dash attack. |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|STRATEGY| Strategy: |
| | ========= |
| | |
| | Phase 1: |
| | ======== |
| | You can get through this fight without firing a single shot, and |
| | perhaps that is the best way to go indeed. You don't want to hurt |
| | Jill, and Wesker is basically invincible and you can't kill him. |
| | The goal here is to hold out for seven minutes, like Wesker |
| | explicitly mentions at the start of the fight. You may want to take|
| | note of the two [GREEN HERBS] behind each of the stairs so that |
| | whenever you need them, at least you know where they are. |
| | |
| | Note: If you damage Wesker enough, it is possible to make him |
| | retreat. You'll can a [HEART OF AFRICA] treasure between the stairs|
| | during Phase 2 as reward. It's best to hide in the small corridors |
| | and pull out a magnum when Wesker mentions that "you can't hide |
| | forever". Shoot him a few times and retreat once again. If your |
| | partner stands on the other side of the corridor, the process will |
| | be much faster. |
| | |
| | If you inspect the door to the east, Wesker will immediately knock |
| | Chris through, saving you some time toying around. |
| | |
| | Run around and stay away from both Wesker and Jill. Avoid getting |
| | hit by their gunfire (hide behind the pillars, for example), and |
| | after a short while Wesker kicks Chris through a door. This allows |
| | you to hide from Wesker, making things much easier while hiding. |
| | There are a total of 19 [VASES] here, so there's plenty to loot. |
| | Most important is the sarcophagus in the upper halls which requires |
| | a partner action. You can find an [L. HAWK] Magnum, [EMERALD (OVAL)]|
| | and a [SAPPHIRE (BRILLIANT)] inside. You can find a [SAPPHIRE |
| | (OVAL)] in a pot in the northwest room, and a [RED HERB] to the east|
| | of this room. |
| | |
| | It's also possible to perform a unique melee combo against Wesker |
| | when he staggers. See the specifics outlined in tables below: |
| | |
| | Chris' Melee Combo: Sheva's Melee Combo: |
| | .---------------.------.-----. .----------------.------.-----. |

| ___) | | Jill has 6 attacks: |
||____/ | =================== |
|--------| |
| | 1. Spin-Machine Guns: Jill fires her machine guns and spins around. |
| | --------------------- |
| | |
| | 2. Machine Guns: Jill fires her machine guns in a straight line. |
| | ---------------- She has a variation where she moves her guns in |
| | your direction slightly. |
| | |
| | 3. Up/Downwards Machine Guns: Jill will climb the 2nd floor and |
| | ----------------------------- fires her machine guns in a straight |
| | line from up to down. |
| | |
| | 4. Restraint Counterattack: Jill will counterattack the agent that |
| | --------------------------- restrains here. You can dodge this |
| | attack with the correct button input. |
| | |
| | 5. Slide-Kick: A melee attack, used when you're near Jill. |
| | -------------- |
| | |
| | 6. Flying Spinning Kick: A melee attack, used when you're near Jill.|
| | ------------------------ |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|STRATEGY| Strategy: |
| | ========= |
| | You need to remove the red device from Jill's chest. Get near Jill |
| | and press the prompted button to talk to her. Don't get *too* close|
| | or she'll kick you in the nuts, though. Have one of you (or Sheva's|
| | AI) hold her down when Jill is confused by the talk and tap - as |
| | FAST as you can - the prompted button to remove the device. |
| | |
| | Jill has a few close quarters attacks, but she also uses a machine |
| | gun every now and then. If she does, hide behind the pillars to |
| | avoid the gunfire. Depending on how fast you tap, it will take |
| | several attempts to remove the device. For an indication, it takes |
| | about 7 times on veteran. |
| | |
| | It can certainly help to stun Jill by not only talking to her, but |
| | hitting her with Flash Rounds from your Grenade Launcher. While |
| | briefly stunned, quickly rush over to Jill and restrain her. |
| | |
| | You can speed things up considerably if Sheva (or your partner, if |
| | they have a steady aim) shoots the device on Jill's chest when you |
| | restrain her. The device will start to spark, and shooting it will |
| | reduce a certain amount of HP from the device (although all weapons |
| | inflict the exact same damage). Tapping as fast as you can helps |
| | considerably too, obviously. |
| | |
| | Many people tap with their fingers, and while it does work every now|
| | and then, there is a method that allows you to tap buttons much, |
| | MUCH faster. I learnt that from Konami's International Track & |
| | Field for the PSOne, in case you were wondering. :p |
| | |
| | Tapping with your wrist: |
| | ======================== |
| | Instead of tapping with your finger, tap with your wrist. How does |
| | that work? Well, you obviously don't literally tap with your wrist,|
| | but you hold your thumb still on the button you want to tap, and you|
| | shake/vibrate your controller so your thumb touches the button. Try|
| | and perfect this method, and hold the controller however you like. |
| | I personally place it against my body with one side, it helps me tap|
| | faster. |
| | |
| | With the device removed, more scenes play and the chapter ends. |
| | |

|| ____/ | BOSS FIGHT 10: UROBOROS AHERI |
|| |__ |_____________________________________________________________________|
||___ \ |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|
| ___) | | Uroboros Aheri has 4 attacks: |
||____/ | ============================= |
|--------| |
| | 1. Tentacle Punch: The most common of Aheri's attacks is a rather |
| | ------------------ straightforward tentacle attack. The tentacle |
| | will emit a strange glow, draws nearer, and |
| | prepares to knock your character down. It has a |
| | variation in which it quickly attacks twice, but |
| | it's the same deal. You can evade the tentacles |
| | by button prompts. |
| | |
| | 2. Tentacle Swing: This attack is similar to the above attack, |
| | ------------------ with the exception that this one is only used |
| | when you've moved to the upper platform, and the |
| | tentacles will make a horizontal swing animation.|
| | |
| | 3. Zone Smash: After 4 tentacles have emerged from Uroboros Aheri, |
| | -------------- they'll soon afterwards uplift high above and emit a |
| | dangerously looking red glow. Quickly destroy one of|
| | the tentacles in advance, because this animation |
| | shows that the boss is preparing its one-hit-kill |
| | attack in which it destroys everything in the area. |
| | |
| | 4. Projectiles: Whenever a tentacle is destroyed, smaller Uroboros |
| | --------------- units are squirted over the platform. This is good |
| | news, because they're weak and replenish your weapon|
| | supply. The bad news is that their attack damages |
| | you slightly and causes a stagger. They're quite |
| | slow creatures, fortunately. |
| |---------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | Strategy: |
| | ========= |
| | As large as this creature is, it doesn't make the battle much harder|
| | than anything you've faced before. As usual, the orange bulbs at |
| | the end of the tentacles are the weak spots of the boss. Grab the |
| | L.T.D. from the wall and aim it at one of the tentacles. Wait for |
| | it to assemble the target locations, keeping it aimed at the bulb as|
| | it moves around. Your partner can shoot that tentacle to slow its |
| | movement down. FIRE! The tentacle bulb will be destroyed, and a |
| | few Projectile Uroboros enemies are spit around the area. |
| | |
| | Much like with the U-8 boss fight, your partner can kill these |
| | enemies (which are very weak and only take a few Handgun bullets) to|
| | collect herbs and ammo. Target the second tentacle a when the L.T.D.|
| | has recharged and a large bulb will show itself. After shooting |
| | that one, it'll split into two more tentacles, kind of like a 'Hydra|
| | effect'. |
| | |
| | The bosses' attacks are mostly dodgeable, even when you're aiming |
| | with the L.T.D., but you'll want to be careful with grabbing ammo |
| | when the boss is about the attack. You might now have enough time |
| | to press the prompted button when you get back up from the grab |
| | animation. |
| | |
| | The four tentacles will be raised up high in the air at this moment,|
| | and it's in your best interest if your partner tries to shoot one |
| | tentacle as much as possible. When the L.T.D. has recharged, |
| | quickly fire it at one of the bulbs. When all four tentacles are |
| | aligned and emit a red glow like just now, they can perform a |
| | devastating move that crushes pretty much everything, resulting in |
| | an instant death. |
| | |
| | There is a higher platform available that you can also move on for a|
| | change. You'll find three [BOXES] there and it might be easier to |
| | aim for the large bulb and higher tentacles from up there. |
| | |
| | Take down the tentacles again and repeat the process by shooting the|
| | large bulb. After shooting it the third time it reveals itself |
| | (perhaps sooner, if your partner has emptied several magnum clips in|
| | it!) the creature will die. |

| | --------------------------- performing a Dash attack. |
| | |
| | 5. Kick: A Melee attack, used when you are close to Wesker. He will|
| | -------- follow up by arrogantly waving his finger. |
| | |
| | 6. Dash: Wesker will use this to close the range between him and his|
| | -------- target with warp-like speed, and follows up with a kick. |
| | You can counterattack his Dash attack. |
| | |
| | 7. Grab: Wesker grabs and forcefully kneels an agent, draining a |
| | -------- significant amount of health. You can try to break free |
| | from the grapple and pull off a counterattack with your |
| | knife with a lot of trouble, but it's better if your |
| | partner can break the grapple loose by shooting Wesker |
| | |
| | 8. Arm Thrust: This only happens if you're very close to Wesker for |
| | -------------- a fair amount of time. Wesker attempts to thrust his|
| | arm through your characters a-la cutscene style. It |
| | is possible to dodge this nasty instant-death attack |
| | by pressing the correct buttons. |
| | |
| | 9. Missile Launch: Wesker retreats to an inaccessable platform with |
| | ------------------ the aircraft and hurls one of the missiles at |
| | you. A direct hit means instant death, so you'd |
| | better hide! |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|STRATEGY| Strategy: |
| | ========= |
| | There's not much point in shooting Wesker regularly with your guns. |
| | Even if you hit him, it won't do much good. Instead, grab the |
| | [ROCKET LAUNCHER] from the case in the northwest corner (break the |
| | glass first). |
| | |
| | Wesker's Attacks: |
| | ================= |
| | Being the final boss, Wesker has a fair amount of tricks up his |
| | sleeve. First of all he uses powerful close quarters moves, varying|
| | from punches to karate kicks. You can avoid getting hurt by staying|
| | the hell away from him. As for his other attacks, he'll occasionally|
| | grab out his gun and fire three rounds. These hurt pretty good, but|
| | you can dodge with a button command. |
| | |
| | Lastly, he's got a devastating attack which is always preceded by a |
| | short animation in which he'll grab a rocket and throw it at you. |
| | Make sure you're standing behind something, or it can very well mean|
| | Game Over. |
| | |
| | Defeating Wesker: |
| | ================= |
| | Make your way over to the eastern side of the area and flip the |
| | switches here to turn of the spotlights. This will make things more|
| | difficult to see for Wesker. |
| | |
| | When he's looking around for you, clearly not knowing where you are,|
| | fire the rocket at him. Quickly switch to a different weapon and |
| | shoot the rocket, or better yet, have your partner do this. Quickly|
| | restrain him while he's recovering from the blast so your partner |
| | can inject him with the overdose of the Uroboros Virus. |
| | |
| | The first attempt will most likely fail (unless you've weakened |
| | Wesker a considerably amount - with a magnum for example). It is |
| | therefore best to not even bother to inject him with the shot during|
| | your first attempt. Looks like you'll need another RPG Round. |
| | |
| | One can be found in a crate at the northeast corner. Either load |
| | the warhead for your partner or do things the other way around and |
| | repeat the process. The second time your partner should be able to |
| | inject the virus, and a series of scenes will play. |
| | |
| | Alternatively it is possible to take Wesker down with old fashioned |
| | gunfire. Turn off the lights and have your partner distract Wesker.|
| | Take your chance to pump some powerful magnum rounds in his head |
| | and he'll stagger for a brief moment. This is when you'll want to |
| | get near him to perform a cool melee combo of up to 5 hits. Keep |
| | this up and Wesker will eventually be weaken enough to give him a |
| | shot. A protip: Using a Flash Grenade instantly makes him stagger. |
| | |
| | It's also possible to perform a unique melee combo against Wesker |
| | when he staggers. See the specifics outlined in tables below: |

| | Item Locations: |
| | =============== |
| | The lower floor contains four [BOXES] of which only the one in the |
| | northeast corner commonly contains a round for the [RPG-7 NVS], |
| | which is found in a showcase in the northwest corner. It's also |
| | worthwhile to note that you can climb the ladders to reach the upper|
| | catwalk. There are 6 [BOXES] here in total, of which only one of |
| | the two boxes on the very east commonly holds an RPG Round. More |
| | important is the showcase in the center of the catwalk that can |
| | replenish your RPG, as it contains 5 [RPG ROUNDS]. |

| ___) | | Uroboros Wesker has 5 attacks: |
||____/ | ============================== |
|--------| |
| | 1. Continuous Flailing Arm: Wesker flails his arm around, which |
| | --------------------------- instantly kills anything. Stay away from|
| | it by all means. |
| | |
| | 2. Ooze Projectiles: When Wesker chases Sheva and Chris stops him |
| | -------------------- in his tracks by firing at him, Wesker will |
| | start throwing projectiles at him. You can |
| | outrun them or simply dodge them with the right|
| | button input. |
| | |
| | 3. Slam Attack: Preceded by holding his arm in the air, Wesker |
| | --------------- prepares to slam it at your agent when close enough.|
| | |
| | 4. Grab: Wesker grabs a character when they get too close. Break |
| | -------- free from the grapple or ask your partner for help. |
| | |
| | 5. Tentacle Whirlwind: Usually performed after being damaged in his |
| | ---------------------- weak orange growth on his back (or simply |
| | after inflicting a great deal of damage), |
| | Wesker engulfs himself in a whirlwind of |
| | tentacles. It's instant death if you're |
| | "inside" the whirlwind, and it'll still cause|
| | plenty of damaged when hit regularly. On the|
| | bright side, Wesker's frontal bulb is exposed|
| | afterwards, allowing you to end the fight by |
| | restraining him from the back. |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|STRATEGY| Strategy: |
| | ========= |
| | Before the next phase starts, you'll get an epic interactive |
| | cutscene in between which - of course - requires you to press |
| | several buttons. Especially the last moment is particularly |
| | grandiose, and might very well be one of the best moments in the |
| | entire game. Enjoy the scenes and prepare yourself for battle when |
| | you gain control of your character again. |
| | |
| | Loot the 4 [BOXES], search around for a [HAND GRENADE], [RED HERB] |
| | and [RIFLE AMMO x5], sort your inventory, heal your wounds and take |
| | a few more steps to initiate the final boss fight. |
| | |
| | Getting a secret treasure: Diamond (Marquise) |
| | ============================================= |
| | Before walking over the bridge (which collapses), look slightly to |
| | the right of this bridge and you'll notice a large rocky outcrop |
| | about ten meters away. It has the same color and structure as the |
| | collapsable bridge. Shoot it until it breaks, and head over the |
| | bridge. Now, use the stepping stone you just created (on your left |
| | side) to make your way across the elusive [DIAMOND (MARQUISE)]. |
| | |
| | The Final Fight: |
| | ================ |
| | Make your way to the bridge nearby - which will collapse. If you're|
| | playing by yourself, Chris needs to make it to higher ground and |
| | Sheva will fire from a ledge in the background. If you're playing |
| | with two people, it will also be Chris who falls down. |
| | |
| | Wesker will get pissed off at Sheva for shooting him, and he'll jump|
| | over. As Sheva makes her way to another bridge (which also collapses|
| | - this requires the player that controls Sheva to tap a button |
| | really fast for quite a while to climb up), delay Wesker by shooting|
| | him. He'll throw some rocks at you which you should dodge. Then, |
| | as Chris, jump down to the large boulder and knock it over in the |
| | lava (this *must've* been the reason why Chris is so buffed). |
| | |
| | Make your way to the higher ground and the actual fight will start. |
| | Wesker has a few attacks that he can use. First of all, if you get |
| | too close to him, he'll grab you. It's very hard to break free, so |
| | you'll need the help of your partner here. His other attacks |
| | consist of a sweep attack, an attack in which he smashes the ground|
| | - causing tentacles to grab your character from out of the ground, |
| | and an attack that is preceded by Wesker lifting his arm in the air.|
| | |
| | There are two strategies here. 1. Rocket Launcher (if you have it |
| | with you). The other strategy is what most people will want to rely|
| | on. Try to shoot his orange bulb in his back (which can be very |
| | tricky). He'll first perform a whirlwind tentacle attack, but when |
| | that's over, approach him from the back as Chris and restrain him. |
| | Tap the button to keep him restrained, so your partner can stab the |
| | front bulb. Succeed in this and you've finished the game .. almost!|
| | There will be one last input you need to perform; then you can enjoy|
| | the ending. |
